Hello, all!
I just want to take the time to explain my knowlege on "prohormones". So I took some time to put togather this thread of what "Prohormones" do to your body, and what they do for your body, as well as a list of dos and donts. Please feel free to chime in if i missed anything!
The reason I qote Prohormones is because it is a loose used term, such as prohormones, pro steroids, and designer steroids. Prohormones are compounds you injest which turn into testosterone via chemical reaction in the body. Prosteroids are compunds which turn into active steroids in the body such as boldenone, nandrolone, trenbolone, etc. Most of the products out today are active as soon as they enter the body which essentially makes them a steroid, or what we now call "designer steroids". These chemicals should be treated as steroids. They should be used in cycles, with proper amount of time off and proper post cycle theropy. And most important, these are not for kids. You should be ATLEAST 21 to even think about taking any "prohormone"!
These hormones act positivly on your androgen recepters. When this happens it creates constant protein synthesis which equals rapid muscle growth. In turn, it also lowers and depending on the chemical being taken, stops your testosterone production (like AAS). It will also create a sence of well being in most, and possibly increase aggression. Also dependign on the androgenic properties, there is also the risk of aggrivated male pattern bulding, acne, increased body hair, and gynocomastia (breast tissue formation) from aromatization. Although some products claim there is no estro aromitization their can still be aromitization in the form of downgrading to progesterone which can cause gyno. They can even elevate blood pressure as well.
Most hormones availible by market are methylated in the 17aa to increase oral bioavalibility. By this I mean it is made to survive its first pass through the liver. With out this most of the chemical would be degraded by the liver which means you would need to ingest far more to get the desired affect. This also means Liver damage after extensive use.
For most these problems are usually rare or start comming about toward the end of a cycle, but that still doesnt mean you dont have to be prepared. Everyone is different so you dont know how you personally will react to a compound.
Here is what you can do to prepare your self. Look into a quality liver support, and blood pressure supplement. Than look into all of the pct products and make sure you have it all on hand befor you start the cycle. Anything can happen and you may need to stop a week or two early, so you should always be prepared.
Make sure you have a proper limit set for cycle to limit any sides and proper diet and sleeping pattern to get the most out of your cycle.
These new supplements have been doing amazing things for people, and with being properly educated and smart, they can be one of the best things for your workout with little to no permenant sides.
"prohormones" effect the liver because most are 17aa. this means absolutly NO DRINKING If you are not disciplined enough to hold off on getting drunk for a duration of your cycle, you are defenatly not ready for any kind of commitment like this.
And I must reitterate, how imperitive it is to have all your goods before you start. Treat these supps as if they are steroids. Unless you feel like liver or kidney shopping, and hate your sexdrive DO NOT constantly take these supplements without proper recovery time!
Despite what looks bad above "prohormones" are reletively safe if you are educated enough to know what you are doing, and honestly, the muscle growth outweighs the sides if you are smart!
Good luck, have fun, AND ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE PUTTING INTO YOUR BODY!
